Guessing the 30 min wait was for one the Genius people to take a look? If so then that's normal, typically you need to book an appointment with them as they tend to be rather busy, and normal sales / checkout staff cannot help with these type of things.

I would think so fella, although maybe genius is a bit strong as he was obviously clutching at straws

Have to say I really don't like the terminology myself. Seems so very smug, but this is Apple at the end of the day, and so it does kind of fit their their image.

I'm sorry if this pisses anyone off but my 5s has worked flawlessly. It gets bashed constantly every day for business and personal use.

I'm over all this bull****... I'm more interested in productivity and getting on with job. This phone supports that perfectly for me at the moment. I don't even think about it as the new iPhone... It just works doing the job I expected and wanted it to perform.

That can't be true as Andy has read lots of apple forum posts with faults so you must be lying!

4s perfect. So good in fact that I easily walked out of the Apple store without a 5s today, they only had 64mb in Gold and I just couldn't. My friend bought one for his wife, she loves it.

As I said they only had 64gb in Gold, it's a bit girly and I need 64gb. It was better than my 4s in every way, but my 4s is hardly useless, you can still buy it new.

As for not affording it, I may have to make a choice between a phone and a tablet, not sure I can afford both this year. Apple shares have done well, but maybe not well enough.

Well, wor kid took his 4s back today for the final time lol, bloke done a diagnostic this time and told him the battery was at fault, he went away to see what deal they could offer and came back with an offer of replacement handset for £100, my bro told him he wasn't willing to pay for a new phone as his only went faulty after updating to ios7 so bloke went to see his manager and came back with a free handset.

Kudos to Apple I suppose although its obvious they know the update has caused problems as they didn't even argue and the que for people waiting to see someone was out the door!

A free handset is a free handset at the end if the day though

£140 and Apple usually give you a new phone. My iPhone 4S has a fault, Im exchanging it for a brand new one from Apple for a charge of £140, not bad considering its 22 months old now. As far as responsibility is concerned SOGA states that you need to take it up with your network provider. I did and they offered me 50% off the cost to settle. I excepted as I really have better thing to do with my time than pursue a claim for the additional £70.

Phablet, a made up word to describe a phone that can be used as a small tablet.

It's a phone.

It is certainly fabulous

I know, let's have test of phones but ignore the phone that was released at virtually the same time as the iPhone 5s.

Good comparison with older phones

I said before, the Note 3 is the best mobile device on the planet at this moment

Best Android device I'll accept, I'd quite like one. But best mobile device, hardly.

As a long term Note user, I can state without fear of contradiction you are talking $hit.

I only use mine as a mobile device... end of.

And I'm not bothered which phone I use as I don't do too much with them, I would say the iPhone is better than all my previous phones even though it's not very reliable and can't even keep up with the predictive text lol, there's sometime two lines of text typed out before anything appears on the screen!

Its how Apple ween you off them, it happened back in the 3 days, my old iphone 3G was pants when they went to IOS 4 total dog to use.

That being said my sons 4s is fast as with IOS7 wifes 4 is ok also, not AS quick but pretty good.
